The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over West Point, so there is one map to show, not two.
This was West Point's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Mar 5, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over West Point at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than West Point: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 47 of them in Iowa. Nearest: Donnellson (6 miles southwest, up to 1.5"); Fort Madison (9 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Farmington (11 miles west, up to 2").
These maps are stills from West Point's Mar 10, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.

Reports came from Franklin — beyond West Point itself.
Quarter-size and larger hail is where asphalt shingle damage starts in earnest: bruised mats and granule loss that homeowners can't see from the ground. Most people inside the footprint won't know their roof was hit until someone inspects it.
